Lindsay Conover is organizing the "Women's March on Washington, Santa Fe." It will be January 21st and will coincide with the women's march happening the same day in Washington, D.C. We spoke to her about why she's putting together the local march and what it's all about.

Q: Why did you want to do this?

A: Not everybody can just pick up their life and go to D.C. and that's what inspired me to do it. I thought to myself, 'Well, why not just do one in Santa Fe?' and at the time there weren't many sister organizations (doing local marches). I might have been one of the first ones, quite honestly, but now there are over 200 (local marches).

Q: What message will marches send January 21st?

A: It's to stand for the protection of women's rights and human rights.

Q: Is this a demonstration against President-elect Donald Trump?

A: What we are saying is that the divisiveness of the election brought up a lot of issues that many of us are concerned about protecting as we are moving forward. So, that's really what the march is about for us.

Q: What do you want to say to potential marchers?

A: I would say make a sign. It's an old fashioned march where you are voicing perspective and opinion and then I would say be prepared to get inspired and informed at our rally.
